What is the treatment for high TSH value ?

Hello Sir, I am a male aged 39 years recently I have gone a master health check up and in that TSH has been included and during first time I got TSH value which is abnormal 134.80 (I saw ref is 0.35 - 5.5 only), Again I have cross checked after 10 days for T3, T4 and TSH and values are T3 21.7, T4 1.81 and TSH 150. What should I do now? Is it any alarming situation? Kindly advice
